If the kid wants to act like an adult, she should expect to be treated like one. Again, I’m not saying she deserves this, but to think that this information absolutely, positively would never be leaked is ignorant. This is the risk you take when plastering yourself all over tv/movies/the internet.

In my opinion, to claim this is cyber-bullying is a bit of a stretch.

Serious question (to those lawyers out there) – I know that cyber-bullying is still a fairly new concept, so maybe no one will really be able to answer this, but… would the burden of proof be similar to that of libel and slander, in regard to the difference between these crimes being committed against someone famous vs. someone like you or me?

Did I miss where she's acting like an adult?

I think this may have been mentioned, but nonetheless I present to you the Bob Dylan version

Well, clearly she isn't acting like an adult in the song...

I simply meant in terms of singing/making a video/wanting the world to see it/wanting to be famous, etc.

Teen stars don't live a kid's life. And she sounds like she wants the fame without all of the criticism.

LOL. If you consider that acting like an adult, let me remind you of generations of children who wanted to perform. The Internet just provides a larger audience to those who want to perform.

Still children. Take issue with the real adults and not with the children. Children are not expected to fully understand the pros and cons.

Moreover, I'm quite baffled by the response to this song/video in this thread and elsewhere. Are people bothered by this? Does it offend their senses? People need to get over it. Seriously.
